"Mindfulness is a translation of a word that simply means awareness. It's a direct, intuitive knowing of what you are doing while you are doing it. It's knowing what's going on inside your mind and body, and what's going on in the outside world as well.
Most of the time our attention is not where we intended it to be. Our attention is hijacked by our thoughts and emotions, by our concerns, by our worries for the future, and our regrets and memories of the past. Mindful awareness is about learning to pay attention, in the present moment, and without judgement. It's like training a muscle - training attention to be where you want it to be. This reduces our tendency to work on autopilot, allowing us to us choose how we respond & react."
Interest in mindfulness has been growing steadily in recent years. There are now thousands of research studies into the uses of mindfulness, and professionals are using mindfulness in Boardrooms, Schools, Prisons, Court rooms and hospitals across the world. Mindfulnet.org is an independent mindfulness website that aims to provide "everything you need to know about mindfulness in one place".
3rd consecutive day of mindfulness practice. (10+ minutes of meditation combined with conscious moments of Be Here Now through out the day)
Open source symbols from radicalcourse" Tattoo with bike in center?
I recently got this tattoo and wanted to share it with y'all. I used the mindfulness symbol and had my artist play around with it a bit. I also wanted to incorporate a woman as the drop of water which was inspired by this poem by Noel Frederick McInnis-
“Be as water in, without friction. Flow around the edges of those within your path. Surround within your ever-moving depths those who come to rest there- enfold them, while never for a moment holding on. Accept whatever distance others are moved within your flow. Be with them gently as far as they allow your strength to take them, and fill with your own being the remaining space when they are left behind. When dropping down life’s rapids, froth and bubble into fragments if you must, knowing that the one of you now many will just as many times be one again. And when you’ve gone as far as you can go, quietly await your next beginning.”

The blueprint:
1. All problems have their roots in human mind.
2. The solution to the problems of humanity lies in the universal truths.
3. At radicalcourse we create visual symbols for these truths and spread (see how) them.
4. Our symbols inspire people to design their lives according to these universal truths.
5. By designing their individual lives, people design a good society.
Carl Jung
